Our a/c is out, and it's in the 90's here (high 20s for you Celsius folks), so I didn't want to heat the house. I made gazpacho, skipping the tomato-peeling step so as not to boil water and heat up house, and grilled cuban-style pork chops (marinated in orange & lime juice, olive oil, onion powder, cumin, salt & pepper).

I've been in overdrive with grad school the past few weeks and after today's 11 hour work day I'm having dry wheat toast, a hard boiled egg smashed with mustard and a big glass of shiraz. I'm still hungry but don't have anything prepared in my fridge. I desperately need find time to cook actual food.

I'm sorry to say that yesterday was warm enough to put me off my game. (I thrive in cold, not hot weather. I hate summer.) So when I got home I didn't feel at all like cooking or eating. All I did was pull a bit of cheddar out and eat that with a tall glass of cold milk and a handful of cherries.

I have a severely sprained ankle and so I'm ordering food, since I can't really go to the grocery store (friends are perfectly willing to take me, but even going down three aisles in a drugstore just about did me in) and can't really stand up long enough to cook anything anyway. I got teppan beef and curry beef from a Japanese place. I should get at least five meals out of it, if not six. Given that I know I'll be eating out Thursday night, the rest of my meals for the week are basically taken care of.
